Oh, and of course the Condors can be seen in the cznyon, but I have not
seen them. But to be fair my time has been limited. It was a lady from
the Peregrine Foundation at the time that put the caws out (high on a cliff
face) that told me about that feeding and I did see them but also she told
me about the bridge. They may have more or current information.
